It is a bit weird to me that you want starfighters to be a recruitment platform but think it's 'Fun' when somebody releases recording of the solution.

> "I recorded a speedrun of level 5, clearly labeled as a speedrun of level 5, which spoils the twist midway through level 5." -- Fun

> We're OK with you publishing facts about Starfighter games/levels but don't want people to be exposed to intentionally hidden facts (discovery of which is, in many cases, the point of the level) unless they go looking for them.

I am asking because I sometimes record or stream myself playing CTFs and I first thought I couldn't do that with starfighter... But I can do it as long as I label it properly and this would not be frowned upon?

I understand that you cannot stop people from leaking and spoiling challenges. But I definitely want to be obedient with your vision.

Really looking forward to this! Thank you for your work

We want people to be able to experience Stockfighter like a fun game. Part of the expected, baseline of experience for games in 2015 is that you can play them socially, either a) with your friends or b) with your cast-of-thousands watching you play them.

We're thus OK with folks streaming our games. (And, ooh, thanks for reminding me to put up that policy note for the platform IP reviewers.)

We'd appreciate folks trying to not spoil folks who aren't looking for spoilers. I'm not too worried about folks being able to find solutions if they turn over the Internet for them; I'd just prefer that they not be pervasively available.

As to whether this causes us issues as a recruitment platform: don't worry about our business model. That's my job. You can search HN for "patio11 stockfighter cheating" if you want to hear a little elaboration on why I am not too worried about this.

Given the whole point of streaming, as a watcher, is to share the streamers experience, I can't see this being a problem based on my interpretation of the docs, especially if you stream in good faith rather than just showing a slideshow of spoilers!

This of course comes with the caveat that I'm not part of Starfighter, it's simply my interpretation of what they've said.
